You can later on move them using `fs.rename()`. + +#### incomingForm.keepExtensions = false + +If you want the files written to `incomingForm.uploadDir` to include the extensions of the original files, set this property to `true`. + +#### incomingForm.type + +Either 'multipart' or 'urlencoded' depending on the incoming request. + +#### incomingForm.maxFieldsSize = 2 * 1024 * 1024 + +Limits the amount of memory a field (not file) can allocate in bytes. +I this value is exceeded, an `'error'` event is emitted. The default +size is 2MB. + +#### incomingForm.bytesReceived + +The amount of bytes received for this form so far. + +#### incomingForm.bytesExpected + +The expected number of bytes in this form. + +#### incomingForm.parse(request, [cb]) + +Parses an incoming node.js `request` containing form data. If `cb` is provided, all fields an files are collected and passed to the callback: + + incomingForm.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) { + // ... + }); + +#### incomingForm.onPart(part) + +You may overwrite this method if you are interested in directly accessing the multipart stream. Doing so will disable any `'field'` / `'file'` events processing which would occur otherwise, making you fully responsible for handling the processing. + + incomingForm.onPart = function(part) { + part.addListener('data', function() { + // ... + }); + } + +If you want to use formidable to only handle certain parts for you, you can do so: + + incomingForm.onPart = function(part) { + if (!part.filename) { + // let formidable handle all non-file parts + incomingForm.handlePart(part); + } + } + +Check the code in this method for further inspiration. + +#### Event: 'progress' (bytesReceived, bytesExpected) + +Emitted after each incoming chunk of data that has been parsed. Can be used to roll your own progress bar. + +#### Event: 'field' (name, value) + +Emitted whenever a field / value pair has been received. + +#### Event: 'fileBegin' (name, file) + +Emitted whenever a new file is detected in the upload stream. Use this even if +you want to stream the file to somewhere else while buffering the upload on +the file system. + +#### Event: 'file' (name, file) + +Emitted whenever a field / file pair has been received. `file` is an instance of `File`. + +#### Event: 'error' (err) + +Emitted when there is an error processing the incoming form. A request that experiences an error is automatically paused, you will have to manually call `request.resume()` if you want the request to continue firing `'data'` events. + +#### Event: 'aborted' + +Emitted when the request was aborted by the user. Right now this can be due to a 'timeout' or 'close' event on the socket. In the future there will be a seperate 'timeout' event (needs a change in the node core). + +#### Event: 'end' () + +Emitted when the entire request has been received, and all contained files have finished flushing to disk. This is a great place for you to send your response. + +### formdiable.File + +#### file.size = 0 + +The size of the uploade file in bytes. If the file is still being uploaded (see `'fileBegin'` event), this property says how many bytes of the file have been written to disk yet. + +#### file.path = null + +The path this file is being written to. You can modify this in the `'fileBegin'` event in +case you are unhappy with the way formidable generates a temporary path for your files. + +#### file.name = null + +The name this file had according to the uploading client. + +#### file.type = null + +The mime type of this file, according to the uploading client. + +#### file.lastModifiedDate = null + +A date object (or `null`) containing the time this file was last written to.
